[abcdefz]

I've forgotten all the names of the artists I like, years since I studied this stuff. But I've always liked a lot of the Dutch artists and a lot of stuff from the 1500s and the Renaissance period and Realism stuff.

Never liked all the impressionist and crazy shit with pastels and crap like that. Oil on canvas and realistic looking is my favourite. Maybe someone who knows about art can tell me the artists which I'd like.


You'd probably need to narrow it down a bit more.

Another idea is to maybe check out some online museum galleries -- you'd maybe want to start here (http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/collection/artist/default.htm) or here. (http://www.louvre.fr/llv/oeuvres/toutes_oeuvres.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=140847439 5181115&CURRENT_LLV_DEP%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474395181115&FOLDER%3C%3EbrowsePath=1408474395181115&bmUID=1140103966450&bmLocale=en)




...there's some great stuff in this thread! I especially like Wyeth, Hockney,and Helene Schjerfbeck -- I'd never heard of her.

Wyeth had this special way of mixing his paint -- interesting guy.

[enree erzweglle]

God, Wyeth. His paintings tell a story. I can step into them, they convey or create a mood. I've been there. Often in the winter and when the light is a certain way, I'll see a room or a corner of one that looks like a living Wyeth.

I generally like the impressionist and post-impressionist pieces. Same with Dali and Chagall. Picasso's stuff makes me think, but I generally don't like the stories they suggest.

Not too fond of Monet except for his Houses of Parliament.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob: gorgeous, particularly in the autumn.

[abcdefz]

My grandpa was the contractor or a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Indiana. One of his workers got hurt in some weird way and they passed the contract off to someone else.

True story, supposedly. I've seen the house in question -- it's not one of his more remarkable ones. Looks kind of like a knock off, actually, but that's Marion, Indiana for ya.

[jabumbo]

i prefer photographs in general. and ones that are more natural and have straight lines. and black and white, thats always better.

[Funky Pepp]

Lyonel Feininger is one of my favourite artists.
The way he paints the light is amazing…

...this reminds me of Aubrey Beardsley's stuff.

It reminds me so much of where I stayed in Zurich. Nowhere else in Switzerland, just the intersection of buildings right behind me.

The lighter blue building in the foreground was a moviehouse. The heavier blue building in the back left was directly in front of where I stayed.

I think I gave money to that squat guy in the foreground, left.

God, this is eerie--I could be IN that painting. :D

[b-grrrlie]

Helene Schjerfbeck is Finnish (or rather was, she's dead now). I really like the brushstrokes and the lights on Mary Cassatt's works. I love this forum when you can discover so much new stuff here!

I found out about David Hockney when a friend of mine was gonna interview Bauhaus back in 1982-3 and she called me for what to ask, and as I knew Daniel Ash was into arts and painting I wanted to know his favourite artist. (Later he did call Tones On Tail's album A Bigger Splash, after Hockney's painting). A year later when I was living in London there was a documentary about him where he took one of those multi-photos so I took one roll of my room while he was on the telly...

http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/6023/hockney6ab.jpg


I like Miró's later works, when he scales down everything (like this Dancer http://www.iatwm.com/200508/SammlungRosengart/miro.jpg
, I didn't find my favourites on the net, there was some even greater ones at his museum (http://www.bcn.fjmiro.es/) in Barcelona)


I've got these postcards on my bathroom wall: Miró, Paul Klee and David Hockney

http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/9840/bathroom8nk.jpg


and then I got this Frantisek Kupka poster on my 30th birthday and it just gets better and better every year...
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/920/kupka9op.jpg

the card above it was one of those free postcards I found in Finland, the painting's done it the spotted style (whatever that's called in English, too tired right now to find out) and it looks really great close up. A friend of mind found some hidden meaning behind it, that underneath it all I don't wanna live alone....

Isn't this one titled, Boulevard of Broken Dreams?

I love this picture!

When I look at it, it almost makes me feel sorta lonley...everything is so bare and empty, except for the 3 people sitting inside the diner. They're all dressed up and nowhere really to go.

However, some people may take a totally different angle on that...that's what I love about art.

Yeah, that's right...I knew that. Actually, I had that picture frammed and hung up in my room, growing up.

I love Marilyn Monroe...so beautiful, yet so insecure. Physically and mentally...she couldn't have been more opposite. Fascinating lady, to me.

a lot were mentioned already: Frida, Escher, Mucha...

I also like Bill Viola a lot. He a video artist. I've always wanted to do video installations before I even knew they existed, and I do like some that he has captured. I wish I had the money for that ish. Ugh. Anyways, do a search online I am sure there are videos floating around.



...I saw some of Viola's stuff on laserdisc in the early nineties. I thought it was okay, but I'd like to see it again now that I'm older.

You might want to see some of Stan Brakhage's stuff, like "Black Ice." That shit's AMAZING. He hand painted/scratched frames. Some of his stuff is just regular abstract film, but the hand painted stuff is incredible.

Thurston Moore put some music on some of it, which Stan expressly forbid. That's kind of a shame.

Inspired my photography a lot in my mid-teens. Then one of his photos (from the same series I'd seen at an expo that inspired me) was used as a cover for Bauhaus debut album (I was 20). Coinsidence?

this weekend while hanging out with one of my old photo profs/best friends she introduced me to one of her students, and said "oh, he designed that Camille Rose Garcia book in the front office." i peed a little.

That artist is new to me. Pretty interesting.

Okay: I think I've got a new favorite. I'm starting to dig Claude Monet more and more: especially his waterlillies.

Audrey Kawasaki

I knew that it was an interesting style but I wasn't sure if I liked it. It grew on me, a lot.

...I didn't even realize what that was when I first looked at it. That's kinda cool.

Wow! That Audrey Kawasaki is awesome! Reminds me a bit of Gustaf Klimt.
I got totally snowed in Jugend / Arts and Crafts when I was studying at garden design school. Did my historical research on that, made my own interpetations on Monet's Waterlilies, copied loads of paintings and made my own paintings of that wall in Vienna and some local architecture (there was loads of houses from the turn of the century where I was studying).

yeah, it's so... different. Something about Sonou just grabs me.

Also, for Kawasaki: definitely see the Klimt in those pieces. I am a huge fan of Klimt, so I guess it makes sense that I like Kawasaki too :)

lovely pieces by the way.

sherman and avedon are and were pretty much industry standards. saying you like them is like saying you like the beatles. same with diane arbus.



...but the beatle are good, as well as arbus and sherman. they were doing provactive stuff for their time!

[cosmo105]

^good point.

[enree erzweglle]

I'm re-reading a book and the one section about self-referential paradoxes featured this drawing, which I haven't seen in a long time and which always strikes me when I do see it.

Escher's "Drawing Hands."
